The iPhone Now Doubles As A Remote Control
Peel Technologies has just unveiled a small hardware accessory that turns the smart phone into a universal remote control. While it is not as convenient as an app, iPhone lovers will be happy to use their smart phones for almost everything imaginable. Most people know what it feels like to lose the remote control and be forced to manually operate their televisions and home entertainment systems. Although most of us should probably get off of the couch a little more anyways, the convenience that a remote control brings has made it almost unthinkable to be able to live without one. Although the new piece of hardware probably won’t be out in time for Christmas, most people wouldn’t be able to get one anyways. The company plans to sell the iPhone remote control adapter exclusively on their website, but there won’t be a retail price. The plan is to actually auction of a small amount of units. Maybe Peel Technologies just wants to see how much they can get for a single unit, but the unorthodox plan has left many with raised eyebrows.
The new iPhone remote control hardware comes from the same person that is responsible for creating the Bluetooth Jawbone headset, so it is almost certain that this technology is being built to last. While most people won’t be happy when they learn that they can’t simply buy it, it can be used with the iPod, iPad and iPhone running the iOS operating system. The idea for an iPhone that will double as a remote is great, but the company’s business plan leaves a lot to be desired.
